McMenemy has coached the previous two Big Ten Offensive Players of the Year in Jack Hallahan (2018) and Nebojsa Popovic (2019), and has overseen an offensive attack that has generated 311 points in the past three seasons (avg. of 4.93 points/match).
The Southampton, United Kingdom native, also served as the head coach of Landsdowne Boys, an amateur men's team in the top division of the New York City's premier semi-professional league, the Cosmopolitan League from 2006-09 - leading Landsdowne to consecutive playoff berths as well as a State Cup Final.
As a player for the Lions, McMenemy earned NSCAA Adidas All-American status as a senior in 2003, and was a two-time unanimous first-team All-Ivy League and First-Team All-Region selection (2002-03). He led the team in goals and assists in his junior and senior seasons, and was selected by his teammates as a team captain as a senior.
